Final Portrait

By: Kellie Sisson Snider

“Everyone has a different story to live, even when they walk under the same wet sky every day of their lives. Even when the same wickedness approaches them in the same dark mask, no two stories are ever the same. Everyone makes her story her own. Everyone interprets the plot in her own style, and decides whether to give the antagonist her heart or her fist, her peace or her fury. And how she interprets the story has everything to do with how her story will end.”—from the prologue This is the way it was for Cassandra Dee Orgeron and Helen Boudreaux in the deep south of Louisiana in the early 1970’s. Each had learned about horror at the hand of their father, but only one would rise above it. Their friend, the artist, Kat Breaux, would document their changes in a chilling series of portraits that would earn her fame and fortune, but ultimately break her heart. This is the story of two incest victims who take very different paths as they try to overcome their family legacy. One path leads to destruction, the other is the road of hope.

We Refuse

A Forceful History of Black Resistance

By: Kellie Carter Jackson

A radical reframing of the past and present of Black resistance—both nonviolent and violent—to white supremacy Black resistance to white supremacy is often reduced to a simple binary, between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s nonviolence and Malcolm X’s “by any means necessary.” In We Refuse, historian Kellie Carter Jackson urges us to move past this false choice, offering an unflinching examination of the breadth of Black responses to white oppression, particularly those pioneered by Black women. The dismissal of “Black violence” as an illegitimate form of resistance is itself a manifestation of white supremacy, a distraction from the insidious, unrelenting violence of structural racism. Force—from work stoppages and property destruction to armed revolt—has played a pivotal part in securing freedom and justice for Black people since the days of the American and Haitian Revolutions. But violence is only one tool among many. Carter Jackson examines other, no less vital tactics that have shaped the Black struggle, from the restorative power of finding joy in the face of suffering to the quiet strength of simply walking away. Clear-eyed, impassioned, and ultimately hopeful, We Refuse offers a fundamental corrective to the historical record, a love letter to Black resilience, and a path toward liberation.
